h4. {toggle-cloak:id=desc} Description and Assumptions

{cloak:id=desc}
This model is technically applicable to any [point particle] system.  In practice, however, the vector equations in this model are usually split into three one-dimensional equations, so that the [One-Dimensional Motion (General)] model is nearly as general, and more easily used.

h4. {toggle-cloak:id=cues} Problem Cues

{cloak:id=cues}

This model is rarely needed in introductory mechanics, and is presented principally for intellectual completeness of the hierarchy.

h2. Model

h4. {toggle-cloak:id=sys} {color:red}Compatible Systems{color}

{cloak:id=sys}

A single [point particle|point particle] (or a system treated as a point particle with position specified by the center of mass).

h4. {toggle-cloak:id=int} {color:red}Relevant Interactions {color}

{cloak:id=int}

Only knowledge of the [net|net force] [external force|external force] is required to determine the motion of the system.
